Beer Review: Rogue Chocolate Stout 6.0% ABV

This beer pours thick and dark with a brown head that retains some bubbles and lacing. Something that is fun about developing a stout palate is whenever I pour one, it’s always very pretty to watch.

This is a strong tasting beer. I don’t detect any chocolate (boo), but neither do I taste coffee, which is always a danger with stouts. While the beer tastes good, it does have a strong aftertaste that will take some getting used to.

Beer Advocate reviewers give this an A (outstanding), while the brothers give it an A+ (world class). For now, I’m giving it a B+ or 4 mugs. I will likely try this beer again as my palate develops.

thanks for the review, check my website for news, notes, pairings, trivia and other musings about this beer, since I am on the label. I even have a special 2010 Valentine’s Day Beer Cocktail, which also has Rogue Spirits Hazelnut Rum and sherry blended with the Rogue Chocolate Stout! I call it the Rogue Diplomat Gone Nuts (its based on the Stout Diplomat, with a rogue twist!)
